In 2009 the Education Sector Plan for Liberia for 2010 to 2020 was developed. It addresses issues of access, quality, disparity, gender balance, planning, management and governance and financing education. By providing indicators and targets for the abovementioned, the sector plan acts as a guideline for the Ministry of Education and education agencies. The plan consequently resulted in the funding of US $ 40 million from the Education for All-Fast Track Initiative (Catalytic Fund). An Education Sector Policy (ESP) has been developed and is currently pending consultations with the Education actors at the county level. The plan has also seen the incorporation of Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) training as part of teacher training curriculum in Rural Teacher Training institutions (RTTI) and the implementation of ECCD comprehensive policy (2011). Through the ESP, 3RTTIs have been rehabilitated and furnished. The ESP (2009) has identified a need to build schools to meet the needs of children with disabilities which prevent them from accessing mainstream schooling.
